Hours, Days and Times:
4-15 hours per week based on student’s availability and amount of desired workload. Parent meetings are held in
the evening, attendance is encouraged when possible.
This position is flexible based on successful applicant’s schedule. The opportunities will be adjusted to meet the
goals of the student, student may apply to facilitate in classroom(s) 1 to 5 days a week based on their needs.
Students will be assigned to a location based on their availability. Some locations have several classrooms in them
and it is ideal to have the same student teaching in all of those classrooms at that location and therefore the
applicant may be needed for more than one day a week or for a longer period of time (not more than 3 hours at each
site).
It is important that the classroom has a sole provider of this material throughout the year. Therefore, successful
applicants must be able to commit to teaching at least one day a week for 20 weeks (approximately Mid January
2014-May 2014). Time spent teaching will vary based on location but student should be able to commit to at a
minimum of one day a week (the same day for the duration) for approximately 1-4 hours. For example: Student

made based on classroom availability and curriculum schedule as well.
